Sustainability policy

At Sodadetour, sustainability is not an add-on—it is a core principle that guides how we design, operate, and deliver travel experiences across Cape Verde. We are passionately committed to ethical, responsible, and sustainable tourism that creates positive impact for our guests, local communities, and the natural environment.

Our Responsible Travel Policy, outlined on this page, reflects our belief that tourism should be enriching and inspiring while remaining respectful of local culture, ecosystems, and future generations.

Our Approach to Sustainable Tourism

We believe that well-designed tourism experiences can support conservation, empower communities, and protect cultural heritage. For this reason, we carefully plan our tours to ensure they are not only enjoyable for our guests, but also socially responsible, culturally respectful, and environmentally sustainable.

Environmental Sustainability

Cape Verde’s islands are home to fragile ecosystems that require care and protection. Sodadetour is committed to:

  • Minimizing environmental impact across all excursions and operations

  • Promoting low-impact and nature-respecting activities

  • Encouraging responsible behavior toward wildlife, marine life, and natural habitats

  • Reducing waste, limiting single-use plastics, and supporting recycling initiatives

  • Complying with all local environmental regulations and protected-area guidelines

We continuously review our operations to improve environmental performance.

Social & Economic Responsibility

Sustainable tourism must benefit the people who live where tourism takes place. We actively:

  • Work with local guides, drivers, and suppliers

  • Support local businesses, artisans, and service providers

  • Promote fair wages, safe working conditions, and ethical employment practices

  • Ensure that tourism revenue contributes to local economic development

  • Promoting authentic cultural experiences

  • Respecting traditions, customs, and local values
